China B League Blog #2
Posted by admin | Filed under Personal, Table Tennis
When I went to the China B league, the players told me that we were catching the train, I was like, “oh that’s cool no worries… nothing I haven’t done before…”, but then they said it was 12 hours and we are sleeping on it and its 6 of us in one room… you gotta be joking me! Just imagine what I thought, “no way on this earth am I doing that, I literally just laughed when we were in the hall and said NO CHANCE in Chinese.
So anyway we were at the station with the players, they are my age and younger, mostly younger than me (16-18 they say)… we had no coach with us…
so I walked onto the train… I had like a sports tracksuit on; my body just started dripping as soon I got on the train was just full of people like the London underground at rush hour times. Added to that, I had my bags with me and I don’t travel lightly. Eventually I just changed into my shorts and shirt which made things a lot cooler.
I ended up on the triple bunk bed carriage in the middle with a woman opposite me… I’m thinking what is going on here! The players are playing cards I’m just in bed sweating playing on my PSP and my Ipod in my ears trying to just kill time in the most fun way possible given the ridiculousness of the situation. Coming to about an hour being on the train I actually felt okay about it, I guess being from the western world we really take things for granted.
I felt like a kid who is on an adventure following his dream by any means: up for anything, down for anything. I slept through the night and was woken up the next morning by the players… so overall I can honestly say it was fun and I would do it again I think… haha… thank God I never needed the toilet, it’s only a hole in the floor…
